今日返工嘅時候，我因為瞓過龍所以好趕。沖沖忙忙落到月台，見到有車就跳上去。

On my way to work today, I overslept and was in a rush. I hurried down to the platform and jumped on the first train I saw.
點知我搭咗去東涌線，唔係荃灣線。到咗青衣先發現搭錯。我嬲到死，但係冇辦法，唯有落車轉返去。

Little did I know I got on the Tung Chung Line, not the Tsuen Wan Line. I only realised at Tsing Yi. I was furious, but had no choice — I had to get off and transfer back.
遲咗成半個鐘先返到公司。老細望住我搖頭，我唯有笑住話：「對唔住，聽日一定準時。」呢件事教訓我，就算幾趕都要睇清楚先好上車。

I arrived at the office half an hour late. The boss looked at me shaking his head. I could only smile and say: Sorry, tomorrow I will definitely be on time. This taught me: no matter how rushed, always check carefully before boarding.
